PREFATORY NOTE. 

The Articles, of which this pamphlet is a re-publication, were contri- 
buted by me in June 1822 to the "Southern Intelligencer", a religious pa- 
per, then issued weekly in Charleston. The object was to furnish the 
Descendants of the French and Swiss Refugees, in print, the contents of an 
old manuscript List of Refugees, in the possession of our family. Of this 
manuscript therefore some account is given in No. 4 of the Articles. To 
what is there said I may add that it Avas found among sundry old papers, 
most of them of little or no value, at the plantation known as Wantoot, in 
St. -John's, Berkley, Avhich had been the residence of my father and grand- 
father. It is not a general list of the Refugees ; it purports to be a list of 
such as desired an Act of Naturalization. Its character was found to give 
it an interest beyond the purpose for Avhich it was designed. To the 
names of persons on the list are added their places of nativity, their pa- 
rentage, the persons they married, the children born before, and those 
boim after their arrival in Carolina; and the mothers and wives are with 
few exceptions, mentioned by their maiden names. This last feature is in 
accordance with the rights of married persons under the Civil Law, which 
is the basis of the French Code. Under the English Common Law "Hus- 
band and Wife are one person" and their legal rights are modified by this 
principle. "In the Civl Law the husband and wife are considered two dis- 
tinct persons, and may have different Estates, &c."* The preservation of 
the born names of women thus has importance in Franco. To us the inte- 
rest of ihe paper consists chiefly in the genealogies it records. 

The Manuscript is in my possession ; and although mutilated by age, 
will be cheerfully submitted to the inspection of persons interested in 
the genealogies. 

The Manuscript occupies seventeen pages of fool's-cap paper. The 
first part puged from 1 to 13, the remainder not paged. 

The portions are 

1. The principal List, numbered from 1 to 119 inclusive, which is 

the list published in 1822. 

2. The portion marked "^^^ No 2, purporting to be names of per- 

sons at Orange Quarter, which, from the note at its close was 
imperfect and collected in aid of a Committee. 
8. The portion marked '^^ No. 3, which has been, and is now. 
supposed to consist of notes used in compiling the principal 
list ; and this formed the envelope of all the sheets and is en- 
dorsed '■•Liste des Francois H ^iihf<ps.'' 
For the reasons stated, Nos. 2 and B were not published in 1822 : it is 
now deemed advisable to print them also. 

The writing of these last is read with difficulty and I am indebted for 
aid in making these transci-ipts, to the kindness of Mr. Louis Maxigault 
of this City, whose familiarity with old French chirography has enabled 
me to present them 

Soon after the origina: publication Mr. ITknhv H. Bacot of this City, 
visited France and became acquainted with the Baoot famil;\ residing a 

* 1 IJlitckston^ Coinincn. ch. 15. 



few miles from Tours. He had with him the "Southern Intelligencer" con- 
taining this list. The identity of the funiilies was recognized; and the Baron 
Bacot de Romaine extended many kindnesses to his remote relative, and 
also accorded civilities to others from So. Carolina, In consequence of this 
pleasant result, the late venerable Thomas Wright Bacot, brother of Mr. 
H. H. Bacot, (remembered by many as the first Postmaster of Charleston 
under the Federal Government,) caused the articles to be re-i^ublished in 
the "City Gazette" in May, 1820. 

I have been unable to find a copy of the original publication in the 
"Southern Intelligencer," or even'to ascertain if its files have been preser- 
ved. The present publication is made from a volume of the "City Gazette" 
in the Treasury Office of Charleston, kindly lent me for the purpose by 
the Hon. P. C. Gaillard, Mayor. 

The spelling, both of names and words in this List, is not uniform. 
Some names, we know from other documents to be erroneously written, 
for instance "Manigaud" for "Maxigault", "Gourdain" for "Gourbin", 
but, as the purpose is to give copies of the papers, we have endeavoured to 
follow the orthography in all its variations and errors. In this effort I am 
indebted to Mr. Wm. G. Mazyck, by whom the proofs have been carefully 
compared with the original manuscript as far as its partial mutilation per- 
mitted. It may be proper to state that the original publication was printed 
from a copy made by myself with care before the manuscript had suffered 
mutilation. 

The names with an asterisk {*) have the Avord "Fridenizons" or "Fri- 
denize" in the margin of the manuscipt. Opposite the name of I. Cailla- 
BEUF, the note is "Fridenizc 2 fois." 

These notes refer, no doubt, to grants of civil privileges from the 
Lords Proprietors, or from the King. One of the names with the asterisk 
is that of the llev. Elias PRiOLEAr. I am in possession of a notarial cer- 
tificate of ^'■Letters Patent of Denization'''' granted to him and his family on 
the 15th of April, in the third year of James 2d. It is dated "London, 25 
April, 1687. As the document belongs to the history of the Colony at that 
period a copy is added in an appendix. 

It does not appear that the list was presented to the General Assem- 
bly, but at its supposed date the Subject of Naturalization occupied largely 
the minds of the Colonists. Applications for Naturalization were before the 
General Assembly, as appears from the Naturalization Act of 10 March, 
1696, It is probable that the provisions of that Act made the presentment 
of this List unnecessary. Having one of the Certificates of Naturalization 
issued by Governor Blake under that Act, I add a copy in the Appendix. 

The names are not numbered in the manuscript List. The numbers 
have been added for the purpose of giving Alphabetical Indexes. 

One more remark. From the entry opposite the first name on list No. 
3, and the words "-passer gratis,'^ opposite another name on the same list, 
some expense probably attended the collection of the inforuuxtion required 
which was met by contributions.

(From the •' City Gazette, " of Thursday, May 11, 182o.) 

The following iiuinl)ers were published in tlie Soutliern Intelligencer 
in 1822. The list of families given in the fourth number, has enabled a 
Descendant of one of them to trace out a branch of the family remaining 
in France. This circumstance has led to an agreeable reciprocation of 
civilities, and has increased the interest naturally attaching to so curious 
a document. In order to obtain for them a more extensive circulation, 
and tliat they may be nu))-e generally seen and i)erused, by the descend- 
ants of tlie French Refugees, these numbers are now published at the re- 
quest of this gentleman. 

From tlie Soutliern IntcUigencer. 

THE FRENCH REFUGEES. 

NO. I. 

The inverition of Printing, and tlie early efforts of the 
Ref<n-niers, found the general mind fettered by ignorance 
and debased by superstition. While, however, its latent en- 
ergies were roused by the one ; the otlier contributed to its 
enlightenment ; and a great moral revolution was tlieir ne- 
cessary consecfuence. But important changes in tho moral, 
like those in the material world, are attended by those deep 
and convulsive throes, by which Providence awakens the 
slumbering fears and affections of man. We are not then 
to be surpi-ised at the eventful history of the r.' volution in 
reliixio?! and morals, which befxan to exhibit itseif at the time 
alluded to. The gleams of a light but ])arii:illy and im])er- 
fectly diffused, afiorded an unfavora])le medium through 
which to view the feelings, the motives and the objects of 
those who proinoted the reformation. Where doubt exists 
of the tendency of new propositions, apprehension throws its 
weight into the scale, and determines us to the support of 
received opinions. Men of ordinary discernment, could 
scarcely fail to see in the reformation an engine of too much 
power to be disregarded. The opinions of the Reformei's 
were therefore in the sober judgement of many, and through 



4 

the fears of more, dreaded as subversive of all the institutions 
of society ; while bigotry and interest, fanaticism and super- 
stition, magnified the evils, of which the new-born spirit of 
the times was deemed the prolific parent. " An opinion 
prevailed which had been zealously propagated by priests 
and implicitly received by sovereigns, that heresy was close- 
connected with rebellion, and that every great alteration in 
the church, involved a like revolution in the civil govern- 
ment." 

But opposition is the parent of zeal ; persecution, of man- 
ly independence and perseverance. Efforts to counteract tlic 
new opinions, contributed in general to tlieir progress and 
influence, — Inquiry was excited — intellect roused — an-d an 
impatience of that thraldom to which mankind in general 
had been subjected, became more and more apparent. The 
new opinions spread from town to town, from district to dis- 
trict, and from kingdom to kingdom, until their infiuence 
was felt throughout the whole civilized worhl. 

France participated largely in the civil commotions of 
which the reformation was so prolific. The opinions of the 
Reformers had made their way into France, and had encoun- 
tered persecution in the reign of Francis the 1st, who came 
to the throne in 1515. Henry 2d, his son and successor, 
in 1559. issued an edict ii,£ictirg the penalty of death on 
dissenters, with an order to the judges '' not to mitigate the 
punishment as had hitherto been the practice ; " and it is 
said to have been " a point of honor, whether the one sect 
could exercise, or the other suffer most barbarity. 

On the death of Henry 2d this violence was greatly mod- 
erated, yielding to the natural influence of the steadfast and 
virtuous course pursued l)y the champions of the new doc- 
trines — But in the subsequent reign, that of Francis 2d, 
(the first husband of the celebrated '' Queen of Scots "), the 
execution of the penal statutes was revived ; and several 
distinguished personages headed the Protestant l)arty, a- 
mono- them the king of Navarre, the prince of Conde, an.d 
admiral Coligni, who, at much personal risk, gave a respect- 
ability and character to the party, which contributed not a 
little to increase its numbers. 

The first civil war between the Catholics and Ihigonots 
took place in 1562, in the reign of Charles 9tli, and after a 
very sanguinary conflict at Dreux, a i)eace Avas concluded in 
terms favorable to the latter. 



A few years afterwards, the Queen Regent concluded witli 
Philip of Spain, ''the leac/ue of Bmjonne/' the ol)jcct of 
which was the universal extermination of the Protestants by 
fire and sword. Conde and Coligni, having obtained infor- 
mation of the league, resolved to strike the first blow ; and 
the battle of St. Dennis and the seige of Chartres produced 
an accommodation. In consequence, however, of a plan then 
formed to seize the prince and admiral, thej escaped to Ro- 
chelle, and the war was renewed. In the battle of Yarnec, 
in 1569 Conde lost his life : and Coligni placed at the head 
of the Hugonots, the young prince of Navarre, (afterwards 
the celebrated Henry 4th). In this contest the fortune of 
war seemed against them, but such was the elastic spirit by 
which they were animated, that when Charles thought them 
almost aniiihilated, they presented themselves in formidable 
array in another quarter. Paris was threatened, and an ac- 
commodation concluded, by which liberty of conscience was 
allowed to the Hugonots. 

This accommodation Avas the basis of or.e of the most de- 
testable and disgraceful instances of perfidy and cruelty Avhich 
history records. Charles seemed studious to show that he 
was sincere in the arrangement with the Hugonots. He pun- 
ished all who infringed it — and proposed a marriage between 
his sister and Henry of Navarre. A few days after the mar- 
riao-e, when many of the nobility whom the solemnity had 
bro^io-ht to Paris, were still there, a general massacre took 
nlace' by order of the king, who " himself (says Hume), in 
person led the way to the assassinations. The hatred long 
entertained by the Parisians against the Protestants, made 
them second without any preparation the fury of the court ; 
and persons of every condition, age aid sex, suspected of 
any propensity to that religion, were involved in an undis- 
tin<niished ruin. " " The streets of Paris flowed witli blood, 
and the people more enraged than satiated with tlieir cruel- 
ty as if repining that death had saved the victims from far- 
ther insult, exercised on their dead bodies, all the rage of 
the most licentious brutality. About 500 gentlemen and 
men of rank perished in the massacre, and near 10,000 of 
inferior condition. Orders were instantly disjiatched to all 
the provinces for a like general execution of the Protestants ; 
and in Rouen, Lyons and many othes cities, the people emu- 
lated the fury of the capitol. " Many of the Protestants 
who lived near the frontier fled into England, Germany and 



6 

Switzerland, while those who lived in the interior escaped to 
the garrissons of their party. The Hugunots, the victims 
of a base and perfidious policy, though sad were unsubdued, 
they possessed at this time nearly one hundred cities, castles 
and fortresses, and in a short time had an army of 18,000 
men. 

This massacre is called the massacre of St. Bartholomew, 
as it took place on the feast of St. Bartholomew, 24th. Au- 
gust, 1572. Coligni, so long the vigilant supporter of the 
cause of the Hugonots, fell a victim to this barbarous policy. 
Henry, prince of Conde, and Henry, of Navarre, were 
spared, but were obliged to recant their tenets. 

In 1574 the war was renewed by Henry 3d. Henry of 
Navarre again joined the Hugonots, and strengthened their 
cause by the influence of his character and virtues. The 
Hugonots received an important accession of force from a 
German army under Conde, to the raising of which Eliza- 
beth of Eng-land had contributed considerable sums. The 
fifth peace was concluded in 1576, and on better terms for 
the Hugonots than any former one. This peace, the result 
rather of the policy, than the sincerity of Henry, produced 
o-reat discontent among the Catholics: — "The holy leao-ue " 
w^as now formed to prevent the increase of any other than 
the established mode of worship. France now exhibited the 
strange spectacle of a nation divided into tliree parties, for 
though the king was a member of the league, the duke of 
Guise was its efficient head, and strengthened by the power- 
ful pretext of religion, it became formidable to the throne 
itself; and the very existerce of the league was inconsisteiit 
with the terms of pacification made with the Hugonots. 
Thus the Royalists, the Leaguers and the Protestants were 
armed against each other ; the first party headed by the king, 
the second by Henry, duke of Guise, and the last by Henrj^ 
king of Navarre. This civil war has consecjuently been ter- 
med the war of the three Henries. On the death of the 
duke of Anjou in 1584, Henry of Navari'e becoming heir 
presumptive to the throne, the league declared him incapa- 
ble of the succession ; and their army having entered Paris, 
the king sanctioned this declaration. The king, however, 
])(M'ceiving that the throne was the great aim of the })olicy 
of the duke of Guise, caused him and his brother to be as- 
sassinated ; but this disgraceful act aroused the vengeance 
of the leafirue against him and a decree of the Sorbonne re- 



leased his subjects from their allegiance. In this state of 
tilings, Henrv 3(1 joined the Protestant party, but soon after- 
Avards while beseiging Paris he was assassinated by James 
Clement, a young Dominican friar, who led on by faiaticism, 
at the risk and expense of his own life, entered the Protest- 
ant camp for the purpose. It has been said of Henry, " that 
he spent his whole life in making war againt the Protestants, 
and, at last he w^as murdered by the Catholics." 

Henrj^, king of Navarre, a Bourbon, was now the heir of 
the crown, but acknoAvledged by only a part of the nation. 
A war was conducted with various success, and Henrv con- 
eluded at length to end it by what seemed the only means of 
obtaining a full recognition of his title — by the renunciation 
of the Protestant faith. He accordingly made a formal ab- 
juration of it in the year 1593. 

The Edict of Nantz which guaranteed to the Protestants 
the full enjoyment of their faith and worship, the glory of 
this reign, was made in 1598. It was now upwards of 80 
years since the bigotry of the times evincing its jealousy of 
the Protestant faith ])egan to follow witli bitter persecution 
those who embraced it ! For the first 50 years, they groan- 
ed under hardships which it was probably imprudent to resist. 
General, open and decided resistance, as w^e have seen, first 
took place in 1562, and from this time to the issuing of the 
edict of Nantz, a period of only 36 years, France had expe- 
rienced no less than six civil wars, founded on differences in 
religious faith. 

Although there must have been much of devoted attach- 
ment to the doctrines and establishments of relii^ion, to ren- 
der the feeling connected with them so powerful an engine, 
we are not to attribute these civil wars to motives merely 
religious. Religion furnished a ready pretext to ambitious 
men, which bigotry rendered subservient to their views. 

The period Avhich elapsed from the passage of the edict of 
Nantz to its final revocation was about 87 years. But par- 
ty spirit had excited too many prejudices and animosities on 
both sides, and the active efforts of the Hugonots had made 
them too secure to allow an empire under such circumstances 
to remain in uninterrupted peace. No very general serious 
disturl)ance took place till 1621 — when the Hugonots, ofiend- 
ed at the court, held a consultation at llochelle, the result 
of which was a civil war of a year 's duration, which ended 
in merely a confirmation of the edict of Nantz. The profess- 



8' 

ed object of this revolt was nothing less than to make France 
a republic — an object too serious and alarming in its nature 
to allow the government to remain satisfied, while a nume- 
rous party, discontented both from principle and habit, upon 
those subjects too, by which the spirit of revolt was most 
easily roused, were so powerful at least for defence. The 
state of the party was inconsistant with enlightened policy ; 
it being in many respects wvperinm in imperio. It was there- 
fore one of the objects of the celebrated Richelieu, who be- 
came the minister of Louis 13th in 1624, to reduce the pow- 
er of the Hugonots. Rochelle was their strong hold. In 
1627 this city w^as beseiged. But it being impossible to take 
it, while the communication Avith the sea remained open, 
Richelieu constructed an immense mole across the harbour, 
a mile in length, and thus reduced the city to famine. Af- 
ter a fourteen months seige it surrendered on condition that 
the inhabitants should retain their property and the free ex- 
ercise of their reliarion. The cardinal had the fortifications 
demolished — after which the other fortified places successive- 
ly yielded to the power of the government. Thus was the 
great object, which first employed the powerful mind of this 
minister, fully accomplished. The Protestants were no long- 
er an independant and distinct people in the kingdom. 

Louis 14th was like his predecessor, fortunate in having 
another Richelieu in Cardinal Mazarin, who maintained the 
tranquility of the empire and increased the poAver of the mon- 
arch. He was also much indebted to the genius of Colbert, 
whose financial eff'orts multiplied the resources of the govern- 
ment. Under his care and patronage, commerce and manu- 
factures flourished. The Protestarits, many of whom were 
engaged in manufactures, participated in his favour. But 
soon after the death of this great man who so well understood 
the true liappiness of his country, Louis in 1685 revoked the 
edict of Nantz ; and the horrors of persecution were again 
the disgrace and the scourge of France. 

A Descendant of the Refugees, 



From the "City Gazette," of Friday, :\[}iy 12tli ISlTi. 

From till' Soutliern Intelligencer. 

THE FRENCH REFUGEES. 

NO. II. 

Tlie revocation of the edict of Nantz, oblige;! above lialf 
a million of Protestants to leave the dominions of Louis, and 
seek religious liberty in other countries. 

Their hard fate could scarcely fail to excite the sympathy 
of all who were not the subjects of a blind bigotry, or indif- 
ferent to the happiness of their fellow-men. 

In the reign of James II. considerable collections were 
made for the Refugees who went over to England ; and in 
tliat of William $15,000 were voted by Parliament, '' to be 
<listributed among persons of quality and all such as through 
age or infirmity were unable to sup])ort themselves. " WlnJe 
encouragement was offered to artificers and manufacturers to 
settle in Great Britain, and to others to migrate to' America.* 

South Carolina participated inthe benefits wliich the in- 
dustry and moral habits of this people afforded to the coun- 
tries in which they settled. 

From a comparison of the names of the Refugees mention- 
ed in Ramsay's History of South Carolina-, aid. those con- 
tained in the Act of Naturalization of 1696, with a very old 
manuscript list (which will be particularly noticed hereafter) 
we obtain the names of not less than 17(3 families and indi- 
viduals who made this state their asylum, soon after the 
tyrannical and impolitic act, which induced them to emio-rate. 

A large proportion of the French settled on th? soutli side 
of Saritee River, where a town was laid out and called "James- 
town." This portion of country hence obtained the name of 
French Santee. Many settled in CliArleston and its vicini- 
ty. There was also a settlement of them in the part of 
Berkley County, called the Onnuje Quarter, which was after- 
wards made the Parish of St. Dennis ; and about ten fami- 
lies were settled in St. John's, Berkley. 

All the accounts we have of the Refugees, represent them 

"■ 1 Ileuit's History Carolina, 108. 



10 

as a religious and moral people, making orderly, industrious^ 
and valuable citizens. 

The Refugees supposed, that in uniting their destinies 
with those of the English Colonists, they were securing ta 
themselves the rights and privileges of citizens ; and it is 
probable that no circumstance occurred for the first year or 
two to make them doubt the correctness of that impression. 

We may naturally conclude tliat the acquisition of lands 
was among the inducements held out to the Frencli to come 
to the province. They generally purchased lands, and the 
circumstances of some enabled them to obtain large tracts^ 
They took the oath of allegiance to the king and of fidelity 
to the proprietors.* It is evident that the lords proprietors^ 
wished them to be considered citizens, for during the ad- 
ministration of Governor Ludwell, (about 1691) instructions 
were received from them, by Avhich he was required to allow 
them all the rights and privileges of English settlers, and 
six representatives in the assembly of the province, f 

These instructions produced great discontent among the 
Eno-lish settlers. National antipathies and prejudices are 
said to have been previously revived; much unpleasant feel- 
in «• was noAV excited ; and the intentions of the proprietors 
opposed, upon the ground that the Refugees were fore ic/nerSy 
and under all the disabilities of aliens. 

It was accordingly contended that the proprietors had no 
authority to allow them represcLitatives in assembly ; that' 
they were not entitled to vote at elections ; nor to the privi- 
lege of sitting as jurors : that the titles by which they held 
their lands were invalid ; and that these disabilities could 
be removed only by an act of naturalization. To these ob- 
jections was added another, which as it was connected with 
their relifrious tenets, was calculated to excite the feelinirs 
which had already borne so many wounds. It was said that 
the marriages performed by their ministers were unlawful, 
and tliat the children of such nnirriages wvre illegitimate. 

These views, which affected so seriously the objects that 
are dearest to us on earth, produced considerable solicitude 
in the minds of the Refugees ; and after consultation amongst 
themselves, they addressed the lords proprietors on their 
difficulties. 

* 1 Ilewit, p. 10. 

■}• 1 Ilewit, p. 111. 1 Kamsay, p. 44. 



11 

The lords proprietors instructed Governor Ludwell to in- 
form them "that they would inquire what does in law qualify 
an alien born for the enjoyment of the rights and privileges 
of English subjects, and in due time let them know ; that for 
their part they would take no advantage of the present 
o;rievous circumstances of the Refugees : that their lands 
should descend to such persons as they thought proper to be- 
queath them ; that the children of such as had been married 
in the same way, were not deemed bastards in England, nor 
could they be considered such in Carolina, where such un- 
limited toleration was allowed to all men by their charter" (1 
Hewit^ p. 113). 

This favorable reply relieved their anxiety, but effected no 
change of sentiment in the English colonists. The Refu- 
gees were not allowed to choose a representative at the next 
election, and the English settlers now addressed a remon- 
strance to the governor on the privileges claimed by them. 
Things remained in this state when Governor Archdale ar- 
rived from England, about 1694-5. He was himself one of 
the proprietors, and had been specially deputed at the sug- 
gestion of Landgrave Smith, to come to Carolina with full 
power, to settle various matters of difficulty and discontent 
in the province. Among other matters, the concerns of the 
Refugees occupied his attention, but such was the state of 
public feeling, that he beleived "their exclusion from all con- 
cerns in legislature absolutely necessary to the peaceable 
convocation of the delegates." 

Lord Archdale belonged to the society of Friends. He 
is represented to have been a man of piety, humanity and 
intelligence, highly respected and esteemed by the colonists. 
Although he remained in Carolina about 18 months, and 
evinced a zealous interest in the welfare of the province, he 
was unable to overcome the jealousy existing between the 
English and French settlers. Yet it is remarkable, that 
within a few months after his departure for E.igland, an act 
was passed by the assembly in March 1696-7, for their ben- 
efit, entitled "^/? act for niakiny aliens free (f this part of 
tJie province^ ,^<?'."* 

This act was founded on an application for naturalization, 
made by the Refugees, by the advice of Governor Blake and 
some other friends. f We may infer from its adoption at 

* Trott's Laws, p. 61.

this time, that the disputes between the English aiul Refugees 
had other foundation and support, than mere prejudice and 
national animosity. There is no doubt that these had long 
been exhibited to a considerable degree ; but they were most 
probably excited by honest differences of opinion respecting 
their constitutional rights. The principle involved in the 
claims of the Refugees, appears to have been the great diffi- 
culty. It is reasonable to suppose that the oae party were 
reluctant to ask for benefits to which they believed them- 
selves entitled, and that a just regard to the rights of sove- 
reignty prevented in the other, an acquiescence in claims to 
which they deemed their sanction necessary. 

This supposition is strengthened by a review^ of the act it- 
self. It commences with a general clause for the naturali- 
zation of aliens, which is restrained by a proviso in the 3d 
section, ''that no person whatsoever other than the persons 
therein expressly named, viz. (63 persons are here named) 
which have already petitioned the General Assembly for 
the liberties, privileges and immunities aforesaid, shall have 
any benefit thereby, except such persons shall within three 
months next ensuing, petition in writing under their hands 
the Hon. Jos Blake, governor, &c. for the same." The 5tli 
section too, requires "that for the better manifestation and 
proof of their having petitioned," Gov. Blake shall give to 
each petitioner a certificate of his having done so, and of 
having taken the oath prescribed. 

There appears to have been four French Congregations in 
this colony, viz. : At Santee, Charleston, Orange Quarter, 
and St. John's, Berkley. They professed the doctrines and 
worshipped according to the forms of the Church of Geneva, 
But the distinctive features of three of these Churches, yield- 
ed to the arrangements made by the act of Assembly called 
''The Church Act;' passed in 1706. 

Bv this act all congregations and places of worship accor- 
ding to the usage of the Church of England, for the main- 
tenance of whose minister, &c. any certain income or revenue 
is established by law, are declared settled and established 
Churches. It then incorporates certain parishes, placing 
the Churches in them upon the footing just described. Among 
them is "one in the Orange Quarter for the use of the French 
settlement there," called the parish of St. Dennis ; and an- 
other "in Craven County, in that part of it which is coni- 
nionlv known bv the name of the French settlement on 



13 

Santee river ;" and the Church built in Jamestown was 
made the parish Church. 

The incorporation of these two settlements appears to 
have been founded on an application made by them ; and 
their object must have been the support which their Church- 
es would derive from the government. 

Mr. Humphreys in his history of the Society for the pro- 
pagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, in speaking of the 
French settlement of Orange Quarter, says.— "The major 
part of them usually met together in a small Church, where 
they generally made a pretty full congregation when they 
had a minister among them : they were poor and unable to 
support their minister, and made an application to the As- 
sembly of the province, to be made a parish, and to have 
some public allowance for a minister Episcopally ordained, 
who should use the liturgy of the Church of England and 
preach to them in French.''* 

In speaking of the settlement at Santee, he says : — "in 
the year 1706 they petitioned the Governor and Assembly, 
to have their settlement erected into a parish," professing 
for th^ doctrines and discipline of the Church of England a 
high esteem. t 

As most of the inhabitants of Orange Quarter and Santee 
were ignorant of the English language, the Church act, after 
reciting that fact, allows them in conforming to usages of the 
Church of England, to use the Book of Common Prayer, trans- 
lated into French by Dr. John Durell, by order of Charles II. 
which had been approved by the Bishop of London. 

The Rev. Mr. Philip De Richbourg was the first minister 
of the incorporated Church of St. James' Santee. He died 
in 1717, and it was not until 1720 that another was obtain- 
ed—the Rev. Mr. Ponderous, a French Clergyman, then 
took charge of the parish. | 

The parish Church of St. Dennis, was built about the 
year 1708,§ and the Rev. Mr. Le Piere was the minister.|| 

It appears that St. Dennis was included within the bounds 
of St. Thomas' parish, and that its being made a separate 
parish was for the accommodation of the French inhabitants. 
It was, therefore, provided by act of Assembly in 1708,

parts, p, 105. 

t ditto, p. 118. I ditto, p. 117. 

\ Humph, p. 105. II Dalcho's Ch. Hist. p. 285. 



14 

(founded it would seem, on the fact of their being an admix- 
ture of English then among them), that whenever the services 
should be performed in English, the Church of St. Dennis 
should become a Chapel of Ease to the parish of St Tho- 
mas — (Troths Laws, 155). 

The small French congregation in St. John's, Berkley, 
appears soon to have been merged in the Episcopal Church. 
In 1707, the Rev. Mr. Maule, a missionary from the Society 
for the propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts, took the 
charge of the parish. The English having no house of worship 
(the parish Church not having been commenced till 1710,) 
he used often the small Church of the French Congreoation, 
which the Rev. Mr. Tuillard, their minister had offered ; and 
such of the French as understood English weiit to hear him.* 

The French Calvinistic Church in Charleston only, ad- 
hered to its peculiar worehip, and this it continues to do at 
the present day. The Church was built anterior to 1693. f 
It appears that the time of worship in this congregation, 
was regulated b}^ the tide, for the accommodation of such of 
them as came to town by water. The (jrovernor and council 
having passed an order that they shouhl meet for w'orship 
at the same hour as the other Clmrches, thev remon.strated 
against this exercise of authority, assigning to the lords 
proprietors as a reason for the custom they had adopted, the 
acoommodation of the members who lived out of the town. 
The proprietors directed that they should not be interfered 
with in this regulation. ;[ This Church at an early period 
acquired a property in some low lots, which having increased 
in value, liave long afforded an important revenue.

THE FRENCH REFUGEES. 

NO. III. 

In the year 1700 Mr. John Lawson visited the French 
settlement on Santee river, on a tour which he made through 
the interior of this State and North Carolina. In 1709, he 
published an account of his travels under the title of "^ 
Journal of a thousand miles, travelled through several nations 
rf the Indians, vf'<'." This book is now a very scarce one« 
Judge James, in the introduction to his Life of Marion, states 
that only two copies are known to be in the state. As this 
circumstance will be deemed a sufficient apology for using 
its conteiits freely, I have extracted so much of it relates to 
the French settled on the Santee, to form the present num- 
ber. A notice of them at that early period, however brief 
and cursory, will not be uninteresting to their posterity. 

"The first place we designed for," (says Mr. Lawson) "was 
Santee river, on which there is a colony of French Protest- 
ants, allowed and encouraged by the lords proprietors. "-p. 7. 

Having given a minute account of his voyage from Charles- 
ton through the inland pa^-sage to Santee, which occupied a 
week, he adds, "As we rowed up the river, we found the 
land towards the mouth and for about sixteen miles up it, 
scarce any thing but swamp and percoarson, affording vast 
C3q)rus trees, of Avhich the French make canoe]^, that will 
carry 50 or 00 barrels. After the tree is moulded and dug, 
they saw them in two pieces, and so put a plank between, 
and a small keel, to preserve them from the oyster banks, 
which are innumerable in the creeks aid bays betwixt the 
French settlement and Charlestown. ' They carry two masts 
and Bermudas sails, which makes them very handy and fit 
for their purpose ; for although their river fetches its first 
rise from the mountains, and continues a current some hun- 
dreds of miles ere it disgorges itself, having no sound, bay, 
or sand bunks betwixt the mouth thereof and the ocean, not- 
withstandirg all this, with the vast stream it affords at all 
seasons, ai d the repeated freshes it so often alarms the in- 
habitants with, by laying under water great part of their 



16 

country, yet the mouth is barred, affording not above four 
or five foot water at the entrance. "-p. 9. 

This is a pretty accurate description of the large cypress 
canoes which are in such general use at the present day — '■ 
and it is probable that the French at Santee were the first 
people in the state who built them. 

^'There being a strong current in Santee river, caused us 
to make a small way with our oars. With hard rowing, we 
got that night to Mons. Eugee's [Huger] house which stands 
about fifteen miles up the river, being the first Christian 
dwelling we met withal in that settlement, arid were very 
courteously received by him and his wife." 

"Many of the French follow a trade with the Indians, 
living very conveniently for that interest. There is about 
seventy families seated on this river, who live as decently 
and happily, as any planters in these southward parts of 
America. The French being a temperate i industrious people, 
some of them bringing very little of effects, yet by their en- 
deavours and mutual assistance amongst themselves, (which 
is highly to be commended) have outstripped our English, 
who brought with them larger fortunes, though as it seems 
less endeavour to manage their talent to the best advant- 
age. 

"We lay all that night at Mons. Eugee's, and the next 
morning set out farther, to go the remainder of our voyage 
by land" — "At noon we came up with several French plan- 
tations, meeting with several creeks by the way, the French 
were very officious in assisting with their small dories to pass 
over these waters, (whom we met coming from their church) 
being all of them clean and decent in their apparel ; 
their houses and plantations suitable in neatness and contri- 
vance. They are all of the same opinioii with tlie Churcli 
of Geneva, there being no difterence amongst them concern- 
in or the punctilios of their Christian faith ; whicli union hatli 
propagated a happy and delightful concord in all other mat- 
ters, throughout the whole neighbourhood ; living amongst 
themselves as one tribe or kindred, every one making it his 
business to be assistant to the wants of his countryman, pre- 
serving his estate and reputation with the same exactness 
and concern as he does his own ; all seeming to share in the 
misfortunes, and rejoice at the advance, and rise, of their 
brethren." 

"Towards the afternoon we came to Mons. L'Jandro, 



17 

[Gendron] where we got our dinner ; there coming some 
French ladies whilst we were there, who were lately come 
from England, and Mons. L' Grand, a worthy Norman, who 
hath been a great sufferer in his estate by the persecution 
in France, against those of the Protestant religion. This 
gentleman very, kindly invited us to make our stay with him 
all night, but we being intended farther that day, took our 
leaves, returning acknowledgements of their favours." 

"About four in the afternoon, we passed over a large Cyprus 
run in a small canoe. The French doctor sent his negro to 
guide us over the head of a large swamp, so we got that night 
to Mons. Galliar's [Gaillard] the elder, who lives in a very 
curious contrived house, built of brick and stone, which is 
gotten near that place. Near here comes in the road from 
Charlestown, and the rest of the English settlement, it being 
a very good way by land, and not above 36 miles, although 
more than 100 by water ; and I think the most difficult way 
I ever saw, occasioned by reason of the multitude of creeks 
lying along the main, keeping their course through the marsh- 
es, turning and winding like a labyrinth, having the tide of 
ebb and flood twenty times in less than three leagues going." 

He then describes a freshet in the Santee, representing 
the adjacent "woods to seem like some great lake, except 
here and there a knowl of high land, which appeared above 
water." 

"We intended for Mons. Galliar's jun. but was lost, none 
of us knowing the way at that time, although the Indian was 
born in that country, it having received so strange a meta- 
morphosis." 

"When we got to the house we found our comrades" [who 
had been accidentally separated from them] "and several of 
the French inhabitants with them, who treated us very 
courteously, wondering at our undertaking such a voyage, 
through a country inhabited by none but savages, and 
them of so different nations and tongues." 

"After we had refreshed ourselves, we parted from a very 
kind, loving, and affable people, who wished us a safe and 
prosperous voyage, "-pp. 12 to 15.

THE FRENCH KEFUGEES. 

NO. IV. 

The paper of which the subjoined List is a copy, has been 
deemed worthy of publication, on account both of its matter 
and its antiquity. As a document relating to the early his- 
tory of our state, it is interesting : and may perhaps be use- 
ful. The descendants of many of the persons included in it, 
will doubtlers be gratified by an opportunity of possessing a 
copy in print, and particularly those, to whom it will afford 
information respecting their ancestors, of which, from the 
want or the loss of family records, they have been ignorant. 

It was discovered in a parcel of old papers which belonged 
to Henry I)e St. JuUen, of St. John's, Berkley; who died 
in that parish at about 70 years of age, in 1768 or 9, and 
who was the youngest son of Pierre De St. Julien — whose 
name is included in the list. His papers passed into the 
hands of a sister who survived all the family, and died at an 
advanced age, in the year 1780. 

The present possessor of the pa])er, is one of her lineal 
descendants. 

We can scarcely doubt that this compilation was intended 
to accompany an application for naturalization. The Cap- 
tion by Avliich it purports to be a list of FrcticJi and Swii^H 
liefugee^ who 'wiahed to he naturalized ; the fu]i;ess and mi- 
nuteness of its details ; and the unpk'af-aiit diftei'ciices ];e- 
tween the Frehch and English settlers on the sul'jcci (.r' 
citizenship, noticed in the second of these iiunilers , ail lead 
to this conclusion. 

The following considerations rerider it probable that it 
was pre])ared with a view to the provisions of the act of r.at- 
uralization oi' 1G5'(). 

It will be recollected tliat this act confers the rights and 
privileges of ci!izc;:s on 60 |/ei'sons who ])etitioned the gene- 
i-al assembcy and who are specially i.amed therein ; and tliat 
it then provides, that all the benefits of the act should be 
extended to such other })ersons as should petition therefor, 



19 

within three months ; reiiuiring that "for the further mani- 
festation and proof of their having petitioned," Gov. Blake 
should give to each a certificate of his having done so, of 
having complied with the other requisites of the act, and of 
being consequently entitled to the privileges conferred bj it. 
The writer of tliese remarks has in his possession one of the 
certificates of Gov. Blake, issued in conformity with this act, 
and referring to it by its date and title. It is the certificate 
of citizenship of one of the refugees on this list, and bears 
date the 3d of June, 1697. 

There are two circumstances however, which show that it 
must have been prepared before the passage of the act of 
1696, though they do not affect the conclusion with respect 
to its ol)ject. The one is, that several of the persons in- 
cluded in it, are made citizens by name in the act of 1696 ; 
the other, that upon consulting the family Bible of one of 
the individuals on the list, now in the possession of a de- 
scendant in this city, it appears that a child whose name 
is given in the list, was born in May, 1694, and died in 
Sept. 1695 — The inference from which circumstance is 
that the paper was prepared, or its materiah collected, be- 
tween these dates. 

It is believed that no complete list of the French Refugees 1 
has ever been published ; probably none has been compiled. / 
This list, with that in Ramsay's History of South Carolina, 
and that in the act of 1696, will probably afford the names 
of most if not all of the class of settlers who made this state 
their asylum immediately after the revocation of the Edict 
of Nantz. 

I will only add that the two persons first named on the 
list were clergynivm, viz. Elias Prioleauand L. P. Trouillart ; 
the latter being no doubt, the pastor of the small French 
congregation in St. John's, Berkley, noticed in the second 
of these numbers.
